    Hello,

    I am using Genesis Magazine Pro theme. When I first started using this theme, Google Mobile-Friendly Test tool was telling me that my pages aren't mobile friendly. After looking into it, I found out that the image I was using was too large and was causing the problem.

    So I made another images that was smaller and after testing the page, Google tool told me that it was mobile friendly. However, now it is telling me again that my pages aren't mobile friendly again. Even though I am using the same exact layout and image for all my pages. The weird thing is that right now it is telling me that my main page is mobile friendly but other pages aren't mobile friendly.

    Here are some examples. They both use exact same layout and same image

    https://dfwpcrepairs.com/ipad_repair.html (mobile friendly)
    https://dfwpcrepairs.com/highland_park_acer_laptop_repair.html (not mobile friendly)

    This is becoming a bit frustrating and confusing. Any help will be appreciated it.

    Regards,

    RN

    Rnaderpo:

    As pointed out earlier, don't rely heavily on google's interpretation of mobile. Their automated diagnostics tool has a lot of issues as of today.

    Gandt: This would be an example of a response that is redundant and unhelpful.

    Please refrain from posting such responses ... or at the very least, point the OP - and the community - to a source that justifies your opinion.

    Since I cannot edit my previous post, here are some refs as suggested by Erik:

    Thanks for providing some links there. Interestingly, the second link actually points back to the first.

    As things stand today - and directly addressing the issue raised by the OP - if you run the two URLs through Google's Mobile Friendly Test tool, the results are consistent with each other.

    Similarly with the PageSpeed Insights tool ... although I usually don't trust the image it creates on the right-hand side of the results. GTmetrix does the same thing on occasion.

    Whether or not we should rely on these tools is another matter entirely 🙂
